Middlebury

Anti-Stalking Policy

1. Introduction

Middlebury College (“Middlebury”) is committed to providing a campus and workplace environment that is safe and secure for all students, staff, faculty and visitors.  Stalking, as defined by applicable law and the corresponding terms of this policy, is strictly prohibited, and Middlebury will take reasonable and appropriate remedial action to prevent stalking and mitigate its detrimental effects, including disciplinary action up to and including termination from employment and/or suspension or expulsion and/or the provision of safety and support services, as appropriate. Stalking is also a crime in many states, including Vermont and California (see 13 V.S.A. §§ 1061, 1062 & 1063 and California Penal Code 646.9) and perpetrators may be subject to prosecution and criminal penalties.

This policy applies to faculty, staff and students, as well as to others who participate in Middlebury’s programs and activities, including the undergraduate college, the Language Schools, the Bread Loaf School of English, the Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference, Middlebury College Schools Abroad, and the Monterey Institute of International Studies (“the Institute”). Procedures for addressing complaints or reports of stalking or related retaliation are in accordance with the existing procedures applicable to other conduct violations and are set forth below; however, where applicable law mandates different procedures or policies with respect to Middlebury programs outside of Vermont, those procedures or policies will apply.  

2. Definitions

 “Stalking” is defined as engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person which includes but is not limited to following, lying in wait, or harassment, and:

(A)   Serves no legitimate purpose; and

(B)   Would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety or health, or would cause a reasonable person to suffer emotional distress.

“Course of conduct” is defined as a pattern of conduct composed of two or more acts over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose.

“Following” is defined as maintaining over a period of time a visual or physical proximity to another person in such a manner as would cause a reasonable person to have fear for their safety or health, including fear of unlawful sexual conduct, unlawful restraint, bodily injury, or death, or would cause a reasonable person to suffer emotional distress.

“Lying in wait” means hiding or being concealed for the purpose of attacking, alarming, or harming another person.

“Harassment” is defined in this policy as actions directed at a specific person, the person’s partner, or a member of a person’s family, which would cause a reasonable person to have fear for their physical safety or health or that of others, including fear of unlawful sexual conduct, unlawful restraint, bodily injury, or death, or would cause a reasonable person to suffer emotional distress. Harassment includes but is not limited to verbal threats, written, telephonic, or other electronically communicated threats, vandalism, trespassing, surveillance, physical contact without consent, or other unwanted contact or communication that serves no legitimate purpose.

Examples of stalking behaviors or activities that may cause a reasonable person to fear for his/her physical safety or health or cause emotional distress include, but are not limited to:

  • Non-consensual communication, including face-to-face communication, telephone calls, voice messages, e-mails, text messages, written letters, gifts, or any other communications that are unwelcome.
  • Use of online, electronic or digital technologies in connection with such communication, including but not limited to:
    • Posting of pictures or text in chat rooms or on websites;
    • Sending unwanted/unsolicited e-mail or talk requests;
    • Posting private or public messages on Internet sites, social networks, and/or school bulletin boards
    • Installing spyware on the person’s computer;
    • Using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to monitor the person.
  • Pursuing, following, waiting, or showing up uninvited at or near a residence, workplace, classroom, or other places frequented by the person.
  • Surveillance or other types of observation including staring or “peeping”
  • Trespassing
  • Vandalism
  • Non-consensual touching
  • Direct verbal or physical threats
  • Gathering information about an individual from friends, family, or co-workers
  • Accessing private information through unauthorized means
  • Threats to harm self or others
  • Defamation – lying to others about the person
  • Using a third party or parties to accomplish any of the above

3.  Confidentiality

Middlebury encourages students, staff, faculty, and visitors to report all incidents of stalking to the Department of Public Safety or other campus safety/security personnel for the program at issue and local law enforcement authorities. Middlebury respects that the decision to come forward may be difficult and that individuals may choose to seek the assistance of a confidential resource prior to making a report. In general, the law recognizes and protects the confidentiality of communications between a person seeking care and a medical or mental health professional or religious advisor.

The medical, mental health, and religious professionals at Middlebury respect and protect confidential communications from students, faculty, and staff to the extent they are legally able to do so. One of these professionals may have to breach a confidence, however, when he or she perceives a serious risk of danger or threat to any person or property. In addition, medical and mental health professionals are required by law to report any allegation of sexual assault of a person under 18.

General inquiries to Middlebury officials about policies or procedures, and conversations in which the alleged wrongdoer is not identified by name or by implication from the circumstances, may remain private. In all cases, Middlebury will handle reports in a sensitive manner and will endeavor to protect the privacy of individuals to the extent it can do so consistent with its obligations to respond to complaints of stalking. Information will be shared with others only to the extent necessary to respond to the situation and in accordance with state and federal law. As such, strict confidentiality may not be guaranteed.

If a complainant insists that his or her name or other identifiable information not be revealed, Middlebury will evaluate the request in the context of its commitment to provide a safe environment for all students, staff, and faculty. Thus, Middlebury may weigh the request for confidentiality against the following factors: the seriousness of the alleged conduct; whether there have been other complaints about the same individual; and the extent of any threat to the Middlebury community.

In certain circumstances, Middlebury may need to report an incident to law enforcement authorities. Such circumstances include but are not limited to incidents that warrant the undertaking of additional safety and security measures for the protection of the complainant and/or the campus community or other situations in which there is clear and imminent danger and/or a weapon may be involved. 

Middlebury is also part of a larger community and context. If there is an independent investigation, lawsuit, or criminal proceeding related to a stalking matter, those involved or others may be required by law to provide documents or testimony.

4. Retaliation

Retaliating directly or indirectly against a person who has in good faith made a report under this policy or participated in an investigation is prohibited. Retaliation includes but is not limited to ostracizing the person, pressuring the person to drop or not support the complaint or to provide false or misleading information, or engaging in conduct that may reasonably be perceived to affect adversely that person's educational, living, or work environment. Depending on the circumstances, retaliation may also be unlawful, whether or not the complaint is ultimately found to have merit.

5. Complaints

If safety is an immediate concern, dial 911.

Any Middlebury student, faculty or staff member or visitor who wishes to make a report or complaint of stalking or related retaliation is strongly encouraged to contact the Department of Public Safety (Vermont programs), or other campus safety/security personnel applicable to the program at issue, local law enforcement authorities, and the appropriate supervisory authority for the program at issue (see contact information in Appendix A, below). 

Middlebury’s Department of Public Safety (or other campus safety/security personnel for programs outside of Vermont, as applicable) will coordinate its response to the report with other officials, as appropriate (including the Threat Assessment and Management team) and, if necessary, law enforcement, to intervene at the earliest possible point to stop the behavior and offer protection to the complainant.  A coordinated response may include the implementation of safety measures as deemed necessary, such as No Contact Orders between the parties, academic or residential accommodations, employment accommodations, and/or other support resources, as appropriate (see, e.g., Appendix B, below). 

Contact information for complaints is listed in Appendix A. Complaints or reports of stalking or related retaliation against students, staff and faculty will be addressed in accordance with existing policies, contracts, and/or appointment letters applicable to the individual and/or program at issue (e.g., Student Life Policies-General Disciplinary Processes [undergraduate students]; Language Schools Handbook [language schools students]; Bread Loaf School of English Handbook [Bread Loaf students]; Policy and Standards Manual [Institute students]; Employee Handbook, Faculty Handbook, or other policies, contracts or appointment letters applicable to the faculty or staff member for the particular program at issue). Complaints against undergraduate students who are enrolled in another Middlebury program at the time the alleged conduct occurred may be addressed in accordance with that program’s disciplinary processes and/or in accordance with Middlebury’s Student Life Policy-General Disciplinary Processes, as appropriate. Complaints against student employees may be addressed in accordance with applicable employment policies and/or Middlebury’s Student Life policies, as appropriate. 

6. Scope of Oversight

Students will be held accountable for policy violations that take place between the time they first arrive on campus to begin their Middlebury program and their graduation, or Middlebury’s confirmation of their resignation or expulsion. Conduct that takes place on or near Middlebury premises or property; occurs at or in connection with a Middlebury-related event; or occurs off-campus but may represent a threat to the safety of the Middlebury community or its members, the pursuit of its objectives, and/or the educational environment of others, may be subject to Middlebury’s disciplinary process. In cases where a student is found responsible for a policy violation while participating in any Middlebury program, the finding of responsibility may also be referred to the appropriate authority overseeing any additional Middlebury program in which the student is or will also be enrolled for other action as deemed appropriate. This may include but is not limited to: further investigation; additional adjudication under existing policies (using only information gathered in the first disciplinary process, or using subsequently gathered information, or both, as deemed appropriate by the overseeing authority); disciplinary action; or other remedies or processes deemed appropriate by the authority overseeing the additional Middlebury program.

7. Pending Discipline

A student will not be permitted to graduate while a disciplinary matter is pending; the student’s graduation will be held in abeyance until the matter is resolved. Nor will a student ordinarily be permitted to withdraw with a disciplinary matter pending.  If a student nevertheless withdraws with a disciplinary matter pending, the withdrawal will be considered a resignation from Middlebury, and the student will have given up the opportunity to return to Middlebury. Notation thereof will be made in the student's permanent file.  In extraordinary circumstances, however, the appropriate supervisory authority may, after appropriate consultation, a review of the case, and consideration of Middlebury’s best interests, grant permission for a student to withdraw from Middlebury when a disciplinary matter is pending. Should the student be readmitted to Middlebury, the disciplinary matter must be resolved either before the student's return, or immediately upon the student's return.

8. Emergency Withdrawal, Suspension, or Dismissal

Middlebury reserves the right, notwithstanding and apart from the procedures described above, on an emergency basis, to suspend, dismiss, or require to withdraw any student whose presence at Middlebury is determined by Middlebury authorities (e.g., the dean of the College; the dean of students, the vice president for Language Schools, Schools Abroad and Graduate Programs; or the appropriate supervisory authority for the Institute) to pose a danger to the Middlebury community or its members or to be unduly disruptive of College life, or who appears to be unwilling or incapable of effectively and/or safely participating in Middlebury’s academic or other programs and/or the residential life of the College. In cases of emergency suspension or required withdrawal, the conditions and procedures for readmission will be determined and communicated in writing to the student at the time of the student’s departure or shortly thereafter.
